An English Sport Makes a Good

Parsons Plea.


Chicago Telegram: A. r. Parsons,
the condemned anarchist, sent for q
reporter and gave out for publication o
long document addressed ITO the
American People" )" and made special
request that it be published without
alteration. He quotes at length the
evidence and the rulings of the su-
preme court, and says that the
speeches credited to him In the trial
were garbled extracts by excited and
imaginative newspaper reporters; that
his Hay market speech did not incite
10 riot, and that there was no connec-
ton between his speeches and the
death of Officer Degan. He says the
evidence did not show him guilty but
proved his innocence; that he has
been convicted as an anarchist aud
not as murderer. He came ana gave
himself up for fair trial, and appeals
to the American people to avoid the
awful crime Of judicial murder, The
lovers of justice are engaged in an eff
fort to thwart the consummation of
judicial murder by q Communication of
the sentence to Imprisonment. For
this thank them, but / am an inno-
cent man. / am sacrificed to those
who say these men may be innocent.
but they are anarchists. II am pre-.
pared to lay down my life for my
rights, and the rights Of my fellow
men, but | object to being killed on
false and unproven accusations.
Therefore 1 cannot countenance or
accept the efforts of those who would
endeavor to procure commutation Of
my sentence to imprisonment; neither
do approve of any further appeals to
the court of appeals, as between CAPT.
tai and Its legal rights, and labor and
its rights. the courts must decide with
the capitalist class. To appeal to
them would be the appeal Of the wage
slave to his capitalistic master for de.
livery. IfIhad never been an anarch.
ist before, my experience with the
laws would make an anarchist of me
now. l appeal not for mercy, but for
justice" After again saying that he
will not accept Communication OF sem
tence, he closes by quoting the Ian.
guage of Patrick Henry: "Give me
liberty, or give me death.n

A Boat sunk ON Flathead Lake.

News has just been received of the
sinking of the steamer pocsbontas on
Flathead Lake on Tuesday, the 18th
inst. The boat left the foot Of the
lake In the morning and the weather
promised pleasant voyage. When 1t
reached the main part OF the lake,
about twenty miles from the starting
point, a sudden storm came on. Here
there is stretch Of water over twenty
miles long and twelve or fifteen wide,
where the winds have terrific sweep
and the waves rise to a formidable
height. The little steamer battled
CALAMITY with the heavy sea for a
time but the storm increased in fury
until IL was deemed expedient to make
for shore. The boat was headed for
the west shore. but the pilot mistook
the channel and ran into shallow
water, where the boat ran aground.
In fiye minutes the craft was SUBJ
merged and the cargo Of freight.
amounting to forty tons, was washed
into the lake. Half a dozen passen-
gers, including lady, Mrs. Nc
Carthy, Of Anaconda, and her baby.
were on board at the time. The
woman and child were safely landed

last spring. 1t was owned by Duncan
Mcdonald. the Ravalli merchant, and
Mr.. Briggs, formerly agent of the

blame is attached to anyone. Most Of
the freight fioated ashore and was
saved, as also were seven Of the sacks

everybody. There Is not dramatist
in the world that would not condemn
it, and yet in the past seven years
nothing on the road has drawn larger

go to laugh, they do laugh. and are

latest born in the family Of comic !
opera. The plot Is simple, turning
chiefly on the intrigues of the court Of
Phillip Of Arrsgon. Miss JEANNE
Winston, who in this company sup.
plants the tenor, was delicious Don
Louis; there was nothing womanly In
her conception OF the character and
her rich mezzo-soprano voice was
equal to constant demand made upon
it, while the personification of grace
and beauty, her chosen role Of male
characters, seem 10 fit her as admir-
ably ss If to the manor born. Her de-
lightful solo, "When the leaves begin
to fall" was rapturously encored, as
also the drinking song iD the third
act, which she sang with rollicking
grace and abandon that was simply
inimitable. Miss Louise Manfred as
Girols won her way with the audience
at once. Possessed of youth, beauty
and remarkably pure and powerful
soprano voice, her solos never failed Of
an encore. Added 10 her vocal ability
she has all the charms of finished
actress. which were particularly
noticeable In the third act, where she
employs the art of coquetry to bring to
the surface her mysterious husband.
Louis DeLange as Dromez the miller,
made an immense hit and fairly con-
vulsed the audience with laughter.
His singing OF "Woman, Lovely
Woman" was twice encored and his
every appearance WAS u signal for q
burst of merriment. He is without
doubt one OF the best comedians
that we have ever had on our boards.
Mr.. Norman was very good Don
Jose but seemed at times to over act
the part. Miss Reynolds AS the Queen
had very little to do but acquitted her
self most regally. Though rather
above the average mortal in stature
the grace OF her carriage and her per-
feet figure completely ignored compsr-
ison and added to the effect Of the
character. Mr.. Vilarga did some
very good acting and singing as the
King and looked the character both in
face and costume. Mr.. Clark and
Miss Norman were also good. The
choruses were splendidly given. show
ing the effect Of careful training. The
costumes were exceedingly rich and
handsome; IN fact everything was first
class; such 3 superior company Is
worthy Of the most liberal patronage
Of our people, much more SO than was
accorded them last night. Tonight
the "Oath Of Love" will be given.
This opera 10 said TO be one of the best

pany aud We hope TO see an overflow.

Kam.ehatkan. and Their Homes.

en1 A.Nf -----~--
The aboriginals Of Kamschatka and
Kamschatdales and Koriaks; but little y
known Of their origin, andboth have de-
creased in numbers since the Russian
occupation. The country Is now chiefly
peopled by Siberian Russians, and by
race the product Of intermarriage be-
tween them and the aboriginal Kam-
schatdales. This new race II Is usual TO
distinguish as Kamschatkans; and Q
greedy, disagreeable kind Of people they
seem TO be. They are Of low order,
and live in summer either in wretched
huts BY the river banks, or in lofts above
the sheds in which they hang their fab.
In winter they have semi-subterranean
dwellings Their habits and diet are
alike filthy, and their notions Of honesty
meager. The pure Kamschatdales. on
the other hand, appear 70 be kindly
and a hospitable people.
The houses Of the better class of ma
tives Of Russian blood are usually log
built, unpainted, containing usually two.
and sometimes, but rarely, four rooms,
In which will be found q few chairs, .
rough deal table. a tawdry gilt eikon Of
the Russian church, and a number Of
cockroaches and unmentionable insectn.
The houses are in many places raised
above the ground, either upon stones,
like haystscks, or upon low wooden pill
lars. The hoqrs are boarded. and the
house is warmed by means Of O hugs

Honorably Acquitted.

Through an oversight, we omitted
yesterday TO note the acquittal Of John
Woerspeter, who was held In conjunc-
ton with Kelly on suspicion of rob
berry Of the sheepman Loomis. Woers-
peter was acquitted on the direct testi.
mony of Kelly the confessed criminal.
who voluntarily testified that Woers-
peter had nothing to do with the rob.
berry. knew nothing OF IL. and that his
(Kelly's) previous implication of
Woerspeter was without any founds-
ton whatever. Mr.. Woespeter is q
business man Of excellent character
and reputation, and but for the unfor-
tunate circumstance Of the robbery
having taken place in bis place, bis
name would never have been con-
nected with IL. As IL is. his charity In
letting Kelly sleep in his house that
night. was the means OF casting sus-
picion on him.
